8.1 Using org-mode as a Day Planner :start:here:

The following document describes how to use Carsten Dominik’s excellent org-mode Emacs package after the fashion of a pen-and-paper day planner.

I discovered that only digital media can truly keep up with my ever-changing world.

Enter org-mode. This handy system uses a fairly simple, single-file outlining paradigm, upon which it overlays concepts like due dates and priorities. I find its method both non-intrusive and easy to edit by hand, which are absolute necessities for me.

I will present my usage of org-mode as a day planner first by giving some templates you can use straight away, and then by explaining my methodology via example uses of org-mode that employ this configuration.
